A Day At The Farm!

Today was such an amazing day- family fun at its finest!

Felix & Emma picking berries

Teaching Emma how to pick the good ones.....


"So, you're saying, I can pick these off the bush and eat them??"

".....sounds like a good deal to me- let's get some of these in our yard at home!!!!"

Emma was in absolute heaven! She kept picking them off the bush and eating them- she preferred the unripe ones, but was happy as could be yanking them off and sticking them in her mouth. She was even signing "more" when we walked away. I think she was confused as to why she was actually allowed to put these items in her mouth- as opposed to the rocks and dirt she usually tries to eat. She really truly enjoyed herself.

....notice in every picture, she has her mouth full!

And here is my dainty little man carrying his 2 baskets of blueberries


We were at Ward's Berry Farm which also has a petting zoo. Emma was more comfortable petting the animals than I was....probably because she is used to Matti, but thse sheep were very sweet with her and gave her kisses on her fingers as she was grabbing their face. They also had cows, and some very smelly chickens & ducks, another one of her favorites.


Petting the soft sheep. I was glad to see them there because just this morning when we were reading a book, I pointed to a picture of a sheep and asked what it says...and sure enough, she said "baaaaah".

Here is a short video and you can hear her squeal in delight at the end. she had so much fun today!

Before leaving we stopped at the farm store and bought some fresh tomatoes & basil....which I absolutely love- I wish my pillow smelled like fresh basil! And we even lucked out with a gigantic supersized canteloupe- for only $2!!!!
